Had his best scoring time with us. Still, I'd prefer Austin. Definitely need someone up there. Will be decidedly crapped off if we don't get anyone.

Wrong thread mate!!!!

"petty" sniping? In any case no-one blames Brereton, any criticism is aimed at the pillocks who signed him.

we've already got one?

We are committed to spending around £7M, its £7M that won't be available for anything or anyone else and that's the point.

Football clubs like us don't spend £7M on any player unless he is ready to walk into the team. Please don't pretend all is going to plan with Brereton!. Its a disaster. If he comes good in a two or three years (and its a big "if") it still wouldn't justify it. Spent wisely that sort of money could have taken us into the top 6. We still might get there but Brereton won't be part of it.

very vaguely, yes!

He absolutely hammered penalties. Maybe those huge thighs helped!

If a loanee helped take us up,I couldn't care less. Once up there, we're looking to sign players we couldn't attract now anyway. Austin would stand up to the physical stuff and score goals, after all he's done it before. It looks to me that Balaji has his tail up and wants to go for it!

It would also massively piss off our neighbours of the 6 fingered variety! Given that they booed Jones last night every time he touched the ball, their reaction in next year's derby would be worth the price of admission! (PS---that's if Burnley stay up of course!)

We will end up paying most of that £7M though whatever happens. Forest won't be that stupid. Someone's said we've "only" paid £3M so far! Anyone think that was worthwhile? Could have got a very decent defender for that but we only splurge on strikers-----and then put them on the wing!

You're not related to Adrian Mole's lad are you?!!!

Advice from Auditors-----collect as many mid-fielders as possible. Don't spend any money on defenders, including keepers---anyone can fill in there. Oh---and only buy British.

Sad to hear. Loved watching him. So many memories keep flooding back from what was a (brief) Golden Era in the history of the club.

Yes but you don't rate Graham do you?!!

Short-term deal though?

Venkys selling?

Perhaps you could find an MB that is worthy of you?

TM tells him to put it away, we need at least another 4 transfer windows!

Not as much.

He's getting those headers though, Rhodes didn't.

Well let's hope you're right. I must say I feel very positive myself today! 4 wins in a row doesn't happen often enough! Our chums up the road at Preston must be feeling much the same!

This wouldn't be anything to do with who signed him would it? Because he would be 2nd pick after Dack every time for me!

Why would be want to reappraise Dack and Reed? Never any doubt about them from the off. Same with Rothwell----just under-utilised. The Rodwell gamble seems to be paying off, Armstrong seems to be coming good at last, (but I accept he is not a left-winger) and Bell had a good game but has not had a good season. Time to reappraise is the end of the season. I notice that, for the more positive poster, £7M Brereton has now ceased to exist!

Yes he did but I have no idea why!
